Polymers exhibit a range of physical characteristics, from rubber-like elasticity to the glassy state. These particular properties are controlled at the molecular level by the mobility of the structural constituents. Remarkable changes in mobility can be witnessed with temperature, over narrow, well defined regions, termed relaxation processes. This is an important, unique phenomenon controlling polymer transition behaviour and is described here at an introductory level. The important types of relaxation processes from amorphous to crystalline polymers and polymeric miscible blends are covered, in conjunction with the broad spectrum of experimental methods used to study them. In-depth discussion of molecular level interpretation, including atomistic level computer simulations and applications to molecular mechanism elucidation, are discussed. The result is a self-contained approach to polymeric interpretation suitable for researchers in materials science, physics and chemistry interested in the relaxation processes of polymeric systems.

Gravel, a young Earth Dragon, was abandoned by his father. A large, grumpy Fire Dragon named Flame had found Gravel as an egg, and brought him to the Fire Dragon Kingdom. Since Gravel was the only Earth Dragon in that entire kingdom, he got bullied a lot! Luckily, he could seek refuge in his classroom, where his teacher, Mr. Ash, would protect him. Even Flame was cruel to Gravel but finally, he had made a friend. A young, smart, and pretty Fire Dragon named Ember. Finally, Gravel had decided to leave this horrible kingdom, and find the truth about his father. Did he really leave him? Was everything Flame had told Gravel true? Could he and Ember ever find the burning truth he was looking for?
